Abstract:
Objective The purpose of this study was to evaluate the hemodynamic effects of an extra-thoracic paraaortic counterpulsation device(ETPACD) with various capacities in an animal model with acute heart failure.Methods The acute heart failure model was successfully induced by snaring branch of anterior descending coronary artery in sheep(weighting 35-42 kg,n =8).The ETPACD is a single port,40 ml,60 ml and 80 ml stroke volume blood chamber designed to be connected to descending aorta through a valveless graft and placed extra-thorax.The hemodynamic indices of 40 ml,60 ml and 80 ml stroke volume were recorded respectively during counterpulsation assistance.Results 40 ml,60 ml and 80 ml ETPACD increased cardiac output 36.98％ (P =0.009),34.16％ (P =0.012) and 53.26％ (P =0.000) respectively,80 ml compared with 60 ml and 40 ml respectively P =0.001,P =0.005.And on diastolic mean aortic pressure 43.40％ (P =0.000)、63.20％ (P =0.000) and 78.76％ (P =0.000),80ml compared with 60ml and 40ml respectively P =0.329,P =0.025.The ETPACD (40 ml,60 ml and 80 ml) increased left carotid artery flow 45.19％ (P =0.007) 、61.51％ (P =0.001) and 81.50％(P=0.000),80 ml compared with 60ml and40 ml respectively P=0.016,P =0.000.Conclusion This study demonstrated that ETPACD (40 ml,60 ml and 80 ml) provided benefit of circulatory support in acute heart failure with better effect on hemodynamic parameters provided by 80 ml.Therefore,ETPACD with larger stroke volume may become a promising counterpulsation device for treatment of heart failure.
